🧵Still thinking about the bigger barns thing. It would be helpful if people actually read the story:
Luke 12:15 - " Then [Jesus] said to them, Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” 1/
I mean, yes greed is a part of the problem, but Jesus explicitly states that "abundance of possessions" is directly tied to that. 2/
The problem is that we human beings never reach a point of having "enough." Enough is never enough. 3/
So, instead of having enough, we store up and store up forever and ever. You can go through the whole bible and see where the act of storing up is the fundamental problem 4/
Pharaoh and his "store cities," the Israelites who can't help but try and store more than 1 day's worth of mana, Solomon and his store cities (1 Kings 9:19), and etc... Consistently "storing up" is an activity associated with all sorts of sin and evil.
